VisionWS (if anyone is interested)
 

There are currently no specs or literature available for this canopy so I enquired with Andrej and he advised...


The VisionWS is a slider up canopy only, it is made even lighter than previous Lightweight canopies we offered.

Lines are new, thinner French Spectra 750lbs, brake lines in 1000lbs Spectra, made continuous (fishbone style) so that there are no knots at cascades and so less chances of tension knots.

The tail pocket is smaller and a bit lighter.

The ZP leading edge is the same 3D shape as on the Vision.

It has 3 mini vents positioned in the middle of the canopy, between B and C line attachment point for better pressurization during opening.

The PC bridle attachment point is moved backwards, towards the tail pocket, so that all lines get a nice tension. Before, with normal bridle position, the A/B lines got nice tension and the rest were a bit loose, again possible tension knots.

The canopy is similar to Vision, better glide and a bit faster compared to our other canopies. Great flare, quite good in deep brakes if needed and it swoops really nice!

Additional sizes 235 and 255.

Jumpers that had problems with openings before, twists, maybe a bigger suit etc. are now super happy with the VisionWS!
